Don't believe the lies your friends have been telling you. Nothing in GTA IV, or any GTA game for that matter, is ever 'stupid'. He must have been playing Saint's Row, and got mixed up, or something. Grand Theft Auto is one of the best games you can get out there that is value for money, I don't think much other games fit this bill anyway. It's not stupid, because if it is, then every video game that he has played must be stupid, and your friend must reallu hate video games, I suppose?
